It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The endless problem with time travel stories... It's impossible to know how much going back in time literally would change the 'later' present. There's The Butterfly Effect, The Sound of Thunder, the latter film showing dramatic and even catastrophic results of meddling with the fabric of Time. But this film doesn't focus on the aspects of physics. It is basically a romantic fantasy, it's about a man who takes a drastic chance in life because he feels he "does not fit in his own time" as Charles Lattimer himself says. So any paradox is not really important here. It was mainly used to conjure up a happy ending. The Sommerville scenes are almost impossibly pastoral, but 'For All Time' is undeniably a beautiful, dreamy movie and Mark Harmon, always a treat, was perfectly cast. Although her contribution is very small, a special mention of Georgie Collins, I loved her snorting...

This is a gem of a movie of the week from CBS in 2000. Although it resembles "Somewhere in Time" in several aspects, it is based on a 1960's "Twilight Zone" episode, written by Rod Serling, titled "A Stop at Willoughby." Much better ending than the 1960 Twilight Zone episode. A middle-aged man (Mark Harmon) time travels back to 1896 via a magical railroad pocket watch and a mysterious train conductor. (Bill Cobbs). He falls in love there with the small town newspaperwoman (Mary McDonnell) and eventually makes the decision to leave his present pointless life and career. He "invents" newspaper comic strips. He must return there one last time to save his true love from dying a sudden death in a gas-line explosion. Unlike "Somewhere in Time" (and "A Stop at Willoughby") he does not die! Changing the ending makes all the difference. He stays in 1896 and marries the woman! I have been looking for it on DVD since 2006! I only have it on an old VHS tape with commercials! The CBS online store does not offer it. Only available on-line as an unauthorized DVD-R.

I really enjoyed this movie. If it ever came out on Video or DVD I would definately buy it. Mary McDonnell does a wonderful job and the story is excellent. I would highly recommend this movie if you ever have a chance to see it.

The folks who've commented on this movie earlier have said it all, much better than I could. Mary McDonnell leads a fine cast, with Bill Cobbs outstanding as the Conductor who offers Charlie another chance at happiness in life. This film borrows some ideas from "Needful Things", and a healthy dose from the classic Twilight Zone episode "A Stop at Willoughby", stirs, blends well and produces an evocative masterpiece.Great movie for a date - heck, you can always watch the end again in the morning, if you get distracted.
